Brakes breaks

[Eurosport]

this week i'm killing my brakes
because they are at 10% right now, sensors are just beginning to jingle
i was looking on importeccatalog.com, looks like they now have zimmerman drilled for rear as well (last time i looked long time ago, they only had front).
question is are those rotors exact same size as stock c36?
replacing rotors as well because they are thin
as far as pads, any recommendations? or should i stick with stock
i'll do write up with picts when i change them 2 weeks at the latest, free time is not my friend these days

I have been looking around for replacement a while back as well

especially the stock front rotor size in cross-drilled and slotted..

problem is most places listed apps for C36 in 288 and 286mm rotor disc in which are incorrect

1995 C36 rotor : 320mm
1996-1997 C36 front rotor : 315mm


I have replaced my front rotor (I went with original replacement nothing fancy) and changed my pad to dustless pad.. PBR Deluxe..

See here ... (http://www.club202.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3122)

So far I am happy with the result..it definitely produce almost no dust..

And another thing since my pad was also almost worn out, as soon as changed the pad, the pedal travel and brake feel has improve with the new and thick pads :)

PS: When I bought my front replacement some place has Zimmerman rotor crossdrilled, but basically the took the solid and drilled it, so the drill pattern is not directional and it cost twice as much as the plain ones...so I went with the plain ones.. ;)

(edit: here is what the rotor looks like after broken in and about 300 mil since replaced)

i'll call around monday then and ask about size on any aftermarket brands for the discs, i don't want to go lower size than stock ;p

brakes done
new stock rotors (thanks again to Tom at Caliber)
porterfield r4s pads
my stock pads came apart when i took em out lol
as far as difference in feel and stoping is wow, stock pads suck
should have changed them long time ago
one thing i did do bad is i broke by accident :) on one of the wheels the little screw that holds the rotor, will have to rethread that and get new screw sometime, no biggie for now
